The 201W2 District Convention held in Australind from October 6-8 2018 was declared a resounding success, with around 240 attending. Guest speakers included Past International President Barry Palmer, Global Membership Team Area Leader PDG Ann Eldridge, and Darren Lomman from Green Batch.

We also heard what wonderful projects are being done by the Lions Hearing Dogs, Lions Cancer Institute, Australian Lions Childhood Cancer Research Foundation, Lions Eye Health Program, Leos and of course there were awards given in various categories for Lions who have excelled, and Sergeant at Arms Roger Doyle kept the show together throughout.

And what would any convention be without the entertainment, the fellowship, and displays from a number of Lions Foundations and projects and the chance to spend some money on Christmas cakes and items from the Lions Club Supplies shop?

The Conventions page will be updated in the near future with more details, and you can also check in with the Lions in Western Australia Facebook page for lots more photos. Just click on the link in the box at the top right of this page.

The dates for the 2018 Dryandra Lions ‘Olympics’ Challenge Weekend have been set for the 20th / 21st October and will again include the Dryandra Boards AGM on Saturday 20th October at 2:00pm, where we will break from the games for all Members to attend.

Your club could be taking home the coveted 'dunny seat' trophy, proudly displayed here by members of Atwell club, winners of the 2017 competition.

The Entry Fee of $5.00 per person/ member to take part will remain unchanged and is required to cover any costs involved for prizes, games materials etc. and needs to be forwarded with your Entry Form (attached below) to the Lions Club of Port Kennedy.

All the accommodation arrangements for the Cabins, Currawong Nissan Huts / Dormitory Complex and Caravan Area will be handled through the Port Kennedy Lions Club, with NO Accommodation Fees being charged on the Friday and Saturday nights for Lions and friends attending the AGM and competing in the ‘Lions Olympic’ Games.

Each Club will need to contact PDG Alan Hawkins to book their accommodation arrangements for the weekend.

Allowance has been made for caravans / camper trailers to be set up in an area behind the Nissan Huts, with no on-site power available. Tents will NOT be allowed to be set up in the Dryandra Village area, as there are specific Camping Areas allocated within the Dryandra Woodlands National Park. For Clubs with small numbers, you can make arrangements with other Clubs attending to share a Cabin.

The games planned for this year are as follows (with time permitting):

State Youth of the Year Winner for 2018

And our YOTY State winner is...Henry Pemberton. Henry impressed the judging panel and audience with his public speaking skills which saw him also awarded the YOTY Public Speaking trophy. Henry was sponsored by the Floreat Lions Club and attends Christ Church Grammar.

East Fremantle Lions Markets

East Fremantle Club has obtained approval from the Town of East Fremantle to conduct a market on the 3rd Sunday of each month.

The location is a park on the southern shore of the Swan River, at Norm McKenzie Reserve, 85 Riverside Rd, East Fremantle and it will be open 9:30 to 2:00pm.

Details (and Application Form) can be found on their website http://eastfremantle.wa.lions.org.au or downloaded from the link below.

The markets are being supported by Booragoon and Fremantle Clubs, but any other LIONS who are interested (and enjoy) markets are welcome to enquire, and earn $ revenue for their own club through their participation.

Please check with East Fremantle LIONS for details and how it works …. Someone who can help with bookings etc will be especially welcome to enquire, and they of course will be a shoe-in for participation on the day of the events as well.

The picture shows an aerial view of the location.

Stall-holder enquiries are welcome, and not for profit organisations will be welcome with special consideration; for example, our friends at Rotary will have a spot promoting their “Shelterbox” programme for disaster relief.

We seek LIONS support in attendance, and even just helping hands (and minds) to make this new market a success for many years to come.
